Are you or young kids in your surrounding have innovative and creative ideas for a better future? Can they/you advocate for immunity/vaccines and a better planet through creative practice? 

Young kids are agents of change, often taking the lead in responding to societal challenges. On the occasion of World Art Day on 16th April 2022 and World Immunisation Week from 24th to 30th April 2022, MYAN supported by Australian Department of Health is calling on young kids Australia-wide, to share their unique perspectives and creative ideas on the theme:

"Vaccines are important because....?"

The Online Art Contest is for kids aged 5 to 15. The aim here is to highlight the collective action needed to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease through art. 

Open to painting, drawing, photography, digital media, design and more, the art contest has several categories and a prize pool over $1000.

The exhibition of finalist works will be displayed virtually on MYAN website and other social media sites on Immunization week in April 2022. Winners to be awarded by the external judging panel of leading creative youth members from MYAN.
